lugesin

Lugesin is the first-person singular past tense form of the Estonian verb lugema, meaning “to read.” It is used to indicate that the speaker read something in the past.

In Estonian, past tense forms are built by attaching endings to the verb stem. For the verb lugema, the common past tense forms are: lugesin (I read), lugesid (you read; this form is also used for the third-person plural), luges (he/she read), lugesime (we read), lugesite (you all read), and lugesid (they read). Note that lugesid serves for both second-person singular and third-person plural, while luges (third-person singular) stands apart.

Usage notes: lugesin appears in declarative sentences describing a completed reading action. It does not convey present relevance; for present reading, other forms of lugema are used (for example, loen). The past tense is commonly used in narration, diary entries, and reports.

Examples:

- Ma lugesin eile raamatut. (I read a book yesterday.)

- Ta luges artikli läbi. (He/she read through the article.)

- Me lugesime küsimused läbi enne testi. (We read the questions through before the test.)

The form is regular for this verb, making lugesin a standard example of Estonian past tense usage. Related forms derive from lugema, while other tenses use different suffixes.
